Expert-Led Training: Proven Methods, Real Transformations

Want to join in on the latest dog sport craze? Disc dog with the UpDog Challenge!

This unique disc competition is designed to encourage new players to get involved in this fun sport as well as test the skills and strategies of experienced disc dog teams. There are 11 unique games that we will focus on in this class: ThrowNGo, Far Out, 4WayPlay, Funkey, Spaced Out, Greedy, Boom!, Time Warp, Frizgility, 7up and Fireball. Each game tests different skills and all promote team work, fun and strategy.

Join multiple time UpDog International Finals Champion, Sara Brueske, to learn new skills and develop new strategies to bring to your next (or first!) UpDog Challenge competition.

Sara uses a combination of written lecture with short demonstration videos. Example rounds including scoring will be included in each lecture. All of the skill lectures will be released at the beginning of class and we will do deep dives into 2-3 games for the remaining weeks.

Many dogs start their agility career with good stopped contact performance. But over time, the behavior or the criteria changes and morphs into something undesirable. What causes that to happen?

Is there discord in your home? Would you prefer to have peaceful music with the individuals living together instead of a cacophony of grumbling, growling, and fighting?

Did you know that the MOST important time in a dog's early career in Nosework happens AFTER they learn target odor (as in NW101) and BEFORE they start their general searching? Making mistakes now are costly. In this transition time, the dog (and handler) learns searching habits, passive indication, precision, consistency, and the ability to work in new and novel locations. THIS class forms the initial foundation to get you off onto the right track. Without these skills, a team may suffer from missed hides and false alerts and their ability to move up the levels successfully may be hampered.

Mondioring Obedience is a fun new obedience venue catered to all breeds! Based on real-life challenges and working under distraction, Mondioring takes familiar obedience exercises to a new level. With the development of the United States Mondioring Association's Obedience-only program, now any dog can participate and earn titles.

This class will cover each of the exercises in the obedience-only program. Working spots will progress at their own pace, students can work on training the behavior or if the behavior is already known, distractions will be introduced under the guidance of the instructor.

Even if competition isn't your goal, this class will help your dog generalize their obedience behaviors to the extreme!

The exercises in the Mondioring Obedience program include:
Heeling
Down stay with distraction
Position changes
Food refusal
Retrieve
Send away
